@@quicksilver3287 I have seen them for around £300k. That with an engine with 321hrs left. Around £470k with a new engine. Fuel burn is pretty high, 165 US gallons an hour. That’s about £1500 an hour in fuel in the U.K.
I really love the outfit of „no compromises“... I’ll make my RC L-39 exactly like that beauty :) keep rocking reno! Best regards from Germany David ( Jet-A Studio)
The L-159s are pretty cool as well. The engine was actually changed to a proper military one on the L-39NG, but I think the L-39C and ZA still had the civilian engines.
yeh i noticed the wing tips were curved & not like the standard profile which is flat to allow the tip tanks to be fitted. their comment below suggests that the increase with wing performance actually gives better range without the need for the tip tanks as well as performance and handling benefits.
Out of curiosity, how do you get to do this? Is it necessary to be prior military? This is a plane I’ve always wanted to fly and right I’m gonna work towards getting into aerobatics
1} G tolerance increases 1-1.5Gs from breathing oxygen. 2} part of the flight was at 12,000’ and cabin altitude was over 9,000’ (operational we wear a mask anytime cabin altitude above 8,000’ and pulling G’s)
@@goflythem2627 Ah ok, it looked super cool. How do you get to fly these without buying them? Was the pilot part of something like an aerobatic team? Also, let’s say somebody is below 9,000ft but is pulling G’s up to 2, would a mask be justifiable?
